Mirani Dam:-
Location:-
Mirani
Dam is located on the Dasht
River,
approximately 30 km west of Turbat and
8 km from the nearest point of the under-construction 820 km-long
M8
motorway (Pakistan) connecting
Ratodero with
Gwader.
Objectives:-
- The primary purpose of Mirani Dam was to store water from the three rivers during the summer season and during floods so that water could be available for irrigation purposes throughout the year in order to bring 33,200 acres of hitherto uncultivated land in Kech Valley under cultivation.
- The secondary purpose of Mirani Dam is to ensure a constant supply of clean drinking water to the towns of Turbat and Gwadar throughout the year.

Mangla Dam:
Location:
The Mangla
Dam
is
located on the Jhelum
River in
the Mirpur
District of Azad
Kashmir, Pakistan.
Objectives:
- The project was designed primarily to increase the amount of water that could be used for irrigation from the flow of the River Jhelum and its tributaries.
- Its secondary function was to generate electrical power from the irrigation releases at the artificial head of the reservoir.
- The project was not designed as a flood control structure, although some benefit in this respect also arises from its use for irrigation and water supply.
